(2)
Martin keeps his "friend" Drusilla in a discarded bathtub. As Martin grows up helearns about friendship, loyalty and responsibility; he is shatteredwhen Drusilla escapes at the first opportunity. But not until he, too,is taken from his outdoor life and imprisoned as a pet in a luxuriousapartment does Martin perceive the true meaning of freedom. King-Smithadds another winner to his distinguished body of work.

This is the story of Martin, a cat who lives on a farm with his brotherand sister, Robin and Lark, and his mother. Martin is a cat with adifference though- he doesn't eat mice. Instead he keeps one as a pet!Drusilla is a very demanding mouse, though, particularly when she givesbirth to eight little babies. At first she and Martin are enchanted bythe baby mice, but as the babies grow and Martin lets themfree, Drusilla's sense of imprisonment and bid for freedom growstronger and she, too, wishes to leave. Then comes the awful day whenDrusilla disappears! Martin tumbles into series of adventures, involvinga fourth floor flat, and a certain Mr.Alec Smart..... This is a reallylovely story written with a lot of humour and clever twists. I firstread this book when I was nine years old, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.Dick-King-Smith has a way with words that make his characters come aliveand seem very life-like, and also very funny. A heart-warming story foryounger readers, which I highly recommend. Dick-King-Smith at his best.

當 Martin 自已被也困時 (像起初 Drusilla 被他自己困起來的情況), 才感覺到自由的可貴, 這是全書最精彩的地方.
